2014 Mid-Atlantic Championships

CHARITABLE FUNDRAISING

The RVA Beard League is proud to report that the 3rd Annual Mid-Atlantic Beard & 'Stache Championships raised an amazing $12,200 for Safe Harbor, a local shelter for survivors of sexual and domestic violence. Included in that figure is a generous donation of $500 from Playbeard.com, a site dedicated to promoting beard groups, charity competitors and the philanthropic causes they support.

Remember to keep every last weekend of April open! We’re set for the Mid-Atlantic Beard and 'Stache Championships IV on April 25, 2015!

hair. As we travel around the U.S. supporting other clubs at charity facial hair competitions, we serve as RVAmbassadors, representing the best of Richmond and Virginia. Back home in Richmond we improve our
